Half Door And 3" Body Lift

[dogboy]

Well, got bored on Saturdy so I decided to go take out the dent in my drivers door that the neighbors friend left me one day back in Febuary (I think).. Dumbass.. It looks pretty good now I think, you can't hardly see where the dent was!!














The hardest part of the whole thing was probably the welding.. I decided when I started that I wasn't going to let my dad do any of the welding, I wanted to do it myself (he kinda taught me) so I could learn how from experience basicly. My wleding DEFINTALLY leaves room to be desired..

I only painted the edges black to prevent rust. I haven't decided if I'm going to paint it gloss black (rattlecan) or paint it the same color as the truck (we have quite a bit of paint left from when I fixxed it when I got it (wrecked when I got it)). I also have a wrecked door that I got cheap form the wrecking yard that I am going to make for the passengers side also (that truck was rolled, so the top of the door is messed up, not folded or anything).
Speaking of paint, has anybody else seen a Ranger this color? haha. It is factory paint, but I have never seen another Ranger in this color... Kind of a greyish blue basicly. It's kind hard to see in the pics.

It is nice not having to open the door to get out, just hope right in and right back out!



I also got a 3" PA body lift on last weekend. I don't have any clearance inssues now! Before the drivers side tire would rub the fender liner when I turned left to full lock. Looks better now too!

Before:


Here's pics with the body lift:





And yes, I realize by bumpers didn't get raised. I got a 10,000lbs winch for my B-day (my dad can use it too, so I got an expensive gift, lol) last Monday so I am going to be making a tube bumper.

Looks good. Are you gonna get a set of complete doors for winter or bad weather?

My buddy's 94 Ext cab cab is that color, and it's also on 33s.

I've seen a couple others too, but It's the least common color I can think of that I have seen on a Ranger.

I like the color really. It looks cool I think. You see blue, or grey depending on the light.


Yeah, I have a set of good doors for once winter rolls around. The drivers door was wrecked already, so I got a good door to replace it, it just needs paint. And for the passengers side, that door is good, so I got a wrecked door from a wrecking yard (truck rolled so the top is only slightly damaged) to make the half door out of.

"Opal Grey Clearcoat Metallic"

A buddy of mine once had a 2WD STX that color. It's not common around here either I think I've seen maybe one other as well.

Ok, so it isn't just me that hasn't really seen many (or none).

I've seen yours, my buddy's and another in a wrecking yard. But that one had a pinkish (or purple?) squiggly stripe thing near the top crease in the fender.
